Solar Tariffs set to drop for systems over 50kW
Fast-track review – key proposals
Government intends to slash the tariff levels for all PV installations above 50kW.
They propose changing the tariff levels by introducing new bands and setting the following tariffs to take effect from 1st August 2011.
| System type | System size | Generation tariff |
| Retrofit & new build | 50kW – 150kW | 19.0 p/kWh |
| Retrofit & new build | 150kW – 250kW | 15.0 p/kWh |
| Retrofit & new build | 250kW – 5MW | 8.5 p/kWh |
| Stand-alone | Up to 5MW | 8.5 p/kWh |
The Government will not act retrospectively and any changes to generation tariffs implemented as a result of the fast-track review will only affect new entrants into the FITs scheme. Installations which are already accredited for FITs at the time the changes come into force will not be affected.
If you have plans for a Solar PV system over 50kW then don’t delay and call us today.
